Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 72.6/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

First half of this has quite a darker tone & heavier feel than his other outings. Not saying that's bad, in fact it's bloody great. Back half is a bit sunnier. Enjoyable right through. This is my personal favorite from Ben.

Harper goes a little edgier, and succeeds with his most commercial album to date. It's not his best, but it's still quality work.
